Create an MD5 Hash From a String

This tool simply converts a string to a hash using ColdFusion. The hash is converted to uppercase to prevent potential case comparison discrepancies in ColdFusion. I've put this online mostly for myself, as I often need to create a hash of a password to populate the first user account in a new application's database. (You know you should never store passwords as plain text, right?)
